I design structured financial risk frameworks that make uncertainty visible and decision-making clearer.
With over 25 years of experience in actuarial modelling, valuation and capital analysis, I operate at the intersection of risk, finance and governance.

I am a Swiss-based financial risk professional with over 25 years of experience in actuarial modelling, valuation and capital analysis.

Through Dedalis, I advise insurers, investment structures and advisory teams on the design and review of financial risk frameworks, regulatory models and long-term cash-flow structures. My work bridges actuarial depth and financial strategy, focusing on transparency, governance alignment and economic substance.

Having operated in senior consulting roles and executive-level functions, I bring experience working with boards, regulators and cross-functional leadership teams across multiple jurisdictions.

I value structured thinking, independence and intellectual integrity. Where appropriate, I collaborate with selected partners to complement technical scope while preserving clarity of responsibility.
